@Mr_Bump
that is rather odd thinking given that CF has far and away better fatigue life than steel/aluminium.
I'd be happier with a well used CF seatpost than a well used lightweight aluminium one. I've a pair of Mizuno Fiandre 1" forks on my ti bike & the steerer column wall is thicker than anything you'll have seen, so thick all propriatary bungs were too wide.
I've absolute confidence in it at 50mph downhill descents and have done so for many years and I'm no lightweight (think 1.5 wiggo's..lol)
